Our mature Red Leicester offers a familiar, tangy flavor with hints of hazelnut on the finish. However, Red Leicester is more famous for its bold red color than its flavor, and here it really delivers. The coloring is so bold that Red Leicester really stands out on the cheese platter, often making it the first cheese that needs to be replenished. A perfect cheese for snacking, Red Leicester is also at home in sandwiches, hot or cold. igourmet's Mature Red Leicester is produced for us by Taw Valley creamery, the maker's of Tickler's Cheddar. At Taw Valley, they refer to this cheese simply as "The Red One." An appropriate name for sure, this award-winning cheese will quickly become a family favorite.

I ordered the mature red leicester cheese after [ ] stopped carrying red leicester at my local store.
It's not bad but I expected it to be more tangy and flaky like ones I had tried before. Maybe the "mature" version isn't meant to be like that...I don't know. The flavor is still nice and goes well with my oat cakes.

Great

I really missed this cheese. I haven't had it since I left England.

Tastes great!

We recently traveled to England and while we were there, tried some great cheese. This reminded us of our trip!
